Debug Games Festival 2026

Debug Games Festival 2026

Norfolk Events Centre • 25 April 2026

This brand-new video games event is brought to you by the team behind the Bristol and Nottingham Video Game Expo events, in partnership with Norwich’s very own Debug magazine.

We’re also working closely with Did You Know Gaming?, The Spriters Resource, and various other Norwich-based good friends of ours, to be revealed as we get closer to the show.

A Journey Through Gaming’s Past, Present & Future

DGF will take you on a journey through gaming’s past, present, and future — from a huge selection of retro titles (including rare and obscure consoles, with appearances from some of the people who made them) right up to the cutting edge of today and tomorrow, with over 100 upcoming games, plus hands-on VR and augmented reality experiences.

And just like any great games festival, you’ll also find artists, traders, and creators bringing unique merch, artwork, and game culture to the marketplace.

Weekly Announcements

In the build-up, we’ll be revealing more exciting details about DGF 2026 live on stream every Thursday at 8:00pm (UK time) — including new guests, exhibitors, and partners.

The Debug Mission

Our mission is simple:
To make games culture accessible, inspire future developers, and entertain everyone who loves video games.
